 NEW YORK. May 2J.-The Conner cial Advertiser saye: A suit involving Sj. .OOO 600 Is about to be commenced against Jay Gould and Russell Sage, as trustees of the consolidated mortgage On the Kansas Pacific Rallw y, by for etca holders of bonds issued under the mortgage. Certain facts were elicited during the recent examination of the affair of the trustees by the United States Pacific Railway commission, which hsd long been suspected by m terestad parties. but which they were unable to prove. Now all is made clear and a suit will be the result.
 It IS stated tha. in 1879, when the plan for the consolidation of the kansas x Pacific and Umon Pacific roads WAS about to be carried into effect, sidney Dillon by pTeConserted arrangement had an attorney bring ac.iJn against Gould Sage as trustees Of the great Kansas Pacific blank mortgage to re- lease thereby s thousand Ehares of the Denver and Pacific stock from lien of mortgage; this stock was w5rth one hun dred dollars per share par, but at this .Ime was of no great market value. In thls unique case m place Ot ordinary legal delays, answer WAS served on the following day and application 10 Judge DUnHhue for ihe appointment of T. H, Ruggles as referee, end within the next two CT three days sO-cg!led trial was had bsfore the referee. during which Dillon testified thG. Denver Pacific stock was worth about two hundred or three hundred thousand dollars, though its face vslue was three million. The TrpsT. WAS confirmed and judgment entered, ihe three million dollars worth of stock released from mortgage lien and transferred to Gould and Sage ss individuals. Tbe whole suit involving so large & sum of money commenced and ended inside of one week. On the same day or day after the stock was transferred, the consolidation was con- summated and shortly after Denver Ps- cific stock became worth it's face value, Had it remained under lien of the con soldstei mortgage, each bond issued would have been worth its pro rata share Of three million dCllgrs more than it Is to- day this with intcrest would he about five million dollars. It k to se- cure 8 prOpOrtiOnate share of this that the foreign bond holders propose to bring their suit. claiming wrongful deprivation and that the court of jus was improperly used tO give a color of legality to the robbery. The case bids fair to be oue of the great lawsuits of the day.
